GoPro Underwater Camera

GoPro Hero3

White, Silver or Black Edition

These are really good cameras and really perform well in all manner of active situations, they are so good that the pros even use them on top documentary shoots. Just see for your self, I’m sure that you will be impressed. You can actually get here right here too!

Go Pro Hereo3 Underwater Camera This friend of mine purchased the silver version of this camera shown above and below. I got him to write his honest review for me. But I have to tell you he wasn’t pleased when a couple of months afterwards he heard that version 4 was due out later and it would have sorted out the one or two niggles he had.

I Love this camera – I upgraded from the original Hero and take it on all of my vacations. I took it snorkeling and the footage clearly captures me and my friends diving down to the coral to get up close to the fish. Compared to the previous model, which didn’t shoot underwater very clearly – I am blown away with how clear and professional all of my underwater footage is. I’ve also taken it skiing – mounted to my ski pole and the footage is so awesome. The camera captured all of the powder we kicked up and we look like total pros!

Pros:
– Captures everything. Wasn’t able to use a viewfinder underwater, so I was shooting a little blindly, but it literally captures everything. I haven’t had any issues where I missed something b/c I mis-aimed the camera.
– Easy to use. I saw some wannabe GoPros on the ski slopes and people were fussing with them all day. There are only two buttons on this thing, that’s all you need.
– Versatile! So far I’ve gotten videos of myself skiing, snorkeling, kayaking, hiking, and even some awesome footage of my dog. I have a whole collection of mounts and gadgets for every occasion.
– Wifi control: So cool – I’m rarely without my phone, so the viewfinder and control is pretty cool.
– Cool factor – GoPro is such a cool brand, and when I take the camera with me, people always recognize it and want to talk about it. – You know that you have quality when you constantly see these cameras being used on real documentaries series!!

Cons:
– Relies on existing light. Took it snorkeling through the caves which was eerie and cool, but it relied heavily on our underwater flashlight to see the stalagmites.
– Wifi drains your smartphone battery. As cool as the feature is – it’s hard to do anything without a full battery on your smartphone. The wifi connectivity and viewfinder uses up your smartphone’s battery.

Question: How deep can you really take the GoPro camera underwater (the box says 60m)? The way this works, is that any piece of equipment is ‘rated’ to a particular pressure. In the case of the GoPro Hero 3 underwater case, it will be rated to 7 atmospheres, which works out to 60 metres in […]
